Porto – VfB Stuttgart Tip Europa League, second leg of the round of 16 on Thursday, 19.03.26 at 21:00 CET
In the second leg of this Europa League round of 16, it will be exciting again. The hosts go into the race with a 2-1 lead from the first leg. I took a close look at the game for you and tinkered with a promising Porto VfB Stuttgart tip.
My main bet for this duel is: Both will score. Porto may have the best defence in the country, but they regularly concede goals in the Europa League. The visiting VfB, for its part, will have to play on the attack on Thursday anyway to turn the result around.
Stuttgart also have a goal average of 1.83 per game in this competition and the bet has always worked out in their last four away games.
Porto vs. VfB Stuttgart AI predictions:
Another interesting option, besides my own, of course, is, according to our recently calculated Porto VfB Stuttgart AI forecast, a simple home win bet at odds of around 2.45.
The Portuguese have only lost a single game at home across all competitions, while the Swabians have recently had problems away from home. Therefore, you can think about it!
Especially since taking something countable from the Estadio do Dragao is always an enormous challenge for any visiting team, no matter how strong.

If you’re also looking for a player bet, then you should keep an eye on Deniz Undav. The German international and candidate for participation in the 2026 World Cup is in impressive form.
After all, he already scored in the first leg and is directly involved in most of Stuttgart’s goals. In the Europa League, he has three goals and six assists in nine games.
The offer of many betting providers with PayPal for Undav therefore exerts a significant appeal on me, especially at odds around 2.40.
This bet therefore offers a good risk-return ratio, especially if you believe in Stuttgart’s offensive power and a possible comeback anyway. A 2-1 deficit is not exactly the world anyway!
